Tribute to American Arts & Crafts<br />
Pasadena Heritage hosts 21st annual Craftsman Weekend<br />
Pasadena’s 21st annual Craftsman Weekend, a tribute to the American<br />
Arts & Crafts movement and the most comprehensive celebration<br />
of its type in the Western U.S., will be held Oct. 19-21 under<br />
sponsorship of the Pasadena Heritage organization.<br />
The weekend’s offerings will include a tour of significant Craftsman-era<br />
houses, a variety of bus and walking tours, evening receptions<br />
at historic sites, an exposition show and sale, lectures,<br />
presentations and workshops.<br />
The signature event of the Weekend is the Craftsman House Tour on<br />
Oct. 21 (9 a.m. to 4 p.m.). The in-depth drive- yourself tour provides the<br />
opportunity to experience the rich variety of Craftsman architecture<br />
that makes Pasadena a destination for Arts and Crafts enthusiasts.<br />
This year’s tour features five homes. One of the featured homes will<br />
be the Woodworth speculative house, designed in 1911 by the Foss<br />
Designing and Building Co. This two-story, Chalet-style home has<br />
many features of the traditional Craftsman home, including a wide,<br />
welcoming front door, and a large living room with interesting cove<br />
moldings and floating box beams. The den has beautiful pocket doors,<br />
and the dining room has wonderful built-ins with original colored<br />
glass and grass-cloth covered walls.<br />
Celebrating its centennial is the 1912 Lindley House. Designed by<br />
David M. Renton, and recently designated a city landmark, it is currently<br />
home to the nonprofit organization, the Journey House. Even<br />
through many changes and owners, it has amazingly retained its beautiful<br />
stained woodwork, board and baton wainscoting in the dining<br />
room, an original fireplace, and large pocket doors.<br />
Other homes on the tour will include a beautifully restored home<br />
in the Orange Heights neighborhood, and two other distinctive bun-<br />
